MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

With NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX Switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance by 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience — all without needing touch a single button.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology

Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With NVIDIA® G-SYNC, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.

Dolby Vision® Technology

Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.

Pantone® Color Validation

Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone® palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage

While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut for more vibrant images, and with a Delta E of less than 1*, the Zephyrus G16’s display lets you experience films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be seen.

*Average tested result in MyASUS / Armoury Crate Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.

0db Ambient Cooling

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.

Redesigned keyboard

The newly redesigned keyboard not only keeps your hands comfortable on the trackpad and keyboard deck but increases air intake for the main system components as well, boosting the Zephyrus G16’s cooling performance without increasing weight or chassis size.

Heatsink

At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Despite its ultra-thin chassis, the Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink that helps to efficiently pass heat outside the machine for sustained performance. By placing these heatsinks closer to the chassis, heated air travels more efficiently out of the machine than ever before, reducing recirculation.

Tri-Fan Technology

Our Tri-Fan Technology directs air though precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis, sending airflow directly towards internal components to keep them cool in all conditions. A third auxiliary fan sends additional heat from CPU & GPU directly to the system exhaust, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.

2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans

The Zephyrus G16 is the first generation of ROG laptop to receive our redesigned 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans™. We’ve added small bends at the end of each of the 84 primary blades that reduce both power consumption and turbulence. The fans also now feature a dual-impeller design, with a smaller set of 84 fan blades inside that allow more air to be sucked through with each rotation of the fan, similar to a jet turbine. These fans consume 16% less power while increasing airflow by 11%, enabling the high-performance components inside to run their very best.

Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°C compared to standard thermal paste. Applying it onto CPUs is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision, and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound.

Heatpipe

Heatpipes are critically important for a laptop’s cooling system, especially in a thin-and-light form factor like the G16. For 2024, we’re introducing a new fiber and mesh heatpipe that offers a 23% efficiency improvement over the previous groove and powder based design.

23%
Efficiency improvement

Dust Filter

Dust and fibers can collect inside the machine, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter over the air intakes helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.

*Internal testing in a simulated dusty environment

Exhaust Vents

The Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink, with one next to the laptop’s rubber feet, exhausting air downward, and one at the rear of the machine, exhausting air underneath our new display hinge and keeping it away from the screen.

Manufacturing Processes
Carving out channels for the keyboard, touchpad, and speakers with ultra-tight tolerances allow them to lay edge-to-edge. Maximum space, maximum efficiency.
Each keyhole, and the nearby keyboard vents, are milled individually. This gives the metal a more premium finish and maintains structural strength to minimize keyboard flex when the chassis is fully assembled.
The holes for the speakers are drilled at a super high 100,000 RPM, allowing for ultra-tight tolerances and a design that spans from one edge of the machine to the other.

Woofer

Woofer

Sometimes, bigger does mean better. The Zephyrus G16 has larger woofers compared to the previous generation. This huge increase allows for both louder volumes and clearer and richer sounds at lower volumes. These woofers are also able to hit much lower frequencies, for deeper bass tones than you’d expect from a thin-and-light-laptop.

3D Mic Array

Three modes for the integrated microphone array give you greater control over your input. Cardioid mode captures sound from right in front of the laptop, while minimizing input from the back, making it ideal for streaming and gaming. Stereo mode uses right and left channels to record a wider soundscape for live music or other immersive experiences.

Dolby Atmos

Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.

Simulated sound waves divided in half, with multiple frequencies on the left and just two on the right.

AI Noise Cancellation

Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise cancellation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher framerates. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
